Hotel New Otani will hold walking tours of historic and scenic areas of Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, with a lunch at the hotel after the tour.

Held during cherry blossom season, there are two tours — the Imperial Palace and former Edo castle course on March 28, and Asakusa and Bokutei course on April 4, both of which include some of Tokyo's best hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spots.

The tour guides, who have a top-grade qualification in the Edo culture and history test, will enrich the experience with stories of the areas, in Japanese.
